I learnt these principles on the COUNTDOWN project and it transformed the way I engage with various stakeholders particularly for as Africans its that place of power balance, constant reflection about our position and stepping back to really empower and give a voice to the voiceless. I would encourage not just researchers but anyone looking to make a difference in their community to be a part of this training.

It is an absolute privilege to support the 90th anniversary commemorations of the Gresford Colliery disaster, a tragedy that claimed the lives of 266 men and boys in Wrexham on September 22nd 1934. This event remains deeply significant in our local history, shaping the community’s resilience and identity. Being able to learn more about this pivotal moment and meeting two incredible figures in the preservation of Wrexham's social history, Alan and Margaret Jones from the Wrexham Miners Project, was truly inspiring. Their dedication to keeping these stories alive is a powerful reminder of the importance of understanding our past to shape a stronger future. If you’re interested in hearing more about their work and the legacy of the Gresford disaster and how the Civic Mission from Wrexham University has been involved, check out the latest episode of Wrexham Rising, where I explore this history and its impact on future generations: 👂🎙️👉https://bit.ly/Wxm_E3 #WrexhamRising #CommunityResilience #SocialHistory #LocalHistory #Gresford Prifysgol Wrecsam Prifysgol Wrecsam Cenhadaeth Ddinesig / Wrexham University Civic Mission Sonia John Nina Ruddle Sarah Harvey Wrexham AFC Wrexham Miners Project
